About the main attractions of Hua Hin. Where to go/travel, what to see in the royal resort and surrounding area.

Elephant Village

A great place to see, pet and feed elephants. You can still ride if you're interested. There are no us, we are purely interested in feeding)

For 100 baht you will get a basket of bananas and cucumbers (suddenly), which huge elephants will eat with great pleasure and appetite. I strongly recommend it, no matter how old you are.

There is a nearby Buddhist temple, is also worth a look.

And a 360 observation deck, with a large statue of a man with an umbrella. This is also a cool place, by the way.

Night markets, and especially Tamarind

There are many night markets in Hua Hin; the most popular are Cicada and Tamarind Night Market, located close to each other. Ideal scenario: Enter through Cicada, listen to covers of popular songs on dulcimer, play in the amphitheater and other performances; wander through the shopping arcades - there are interesting handmade items there; and then go to Tamarind, order divine ribs from the food truck, mango and passion fruit shake, sit closer to the stage and enjoy.

This is amazing, we have done this ourselves more than once.

Hin Lek Fai

Khao Hin Lek Fai consists of several observation platforms with excellent views of different parts of the city. This place on the mountain is densely populated by monkeys.

Pagoda on the mountain Chang Wat Prachuap Khiri Khan

Rajabhakti Park

A well-kept park with huge statues of the seven kings of Thailand. They are very majestic and fascinating, but it’s not worth going here just for them; combine the trip with a visit to the pagoda from the previous point, for example. They are located close to each other.

Temple complex on Khao Tao mountain

Interesting place, great view of the sea, Khao Tao beach, Khao Takiab and Hua Hin.

Artists' Village

It is located far from the city center, but is interesting for the abundance of art workshops where you can feel the atmosphere, look at paintings and attend master classes.

Water parks

There are 3 water parks in the vicinity of Hua Hin: one is Santorini, in Cha-Am. The one next door is also quite good.

The largest and most equipped is Vana Nava, in the south of the city, in the building of the Holiday Inn hotel.

Roi Yot himself, or the Mountain of Three Hundred Peaks, is the first sea national park in Thailand, captivating many tourists with its beauty year after year. Roi Yot itself has mountains, valleys, jungles, plantations, waterfalls, beautiful beaches and many interesting inhabitants.

Moreover, a trip to Sam Roi Yot is not just an aimless stroll enjoying the amazing views. Excursions here are accompanied by mandatory visits some places. For example, one of my favorites is the Tham Phraya Nakhon cave. Its special feature is the gazebo, built in 1896 by Rama V, and standing directly under the light of the sun. In the twilight of the cave it looks very impressive. You should not ignore the Tham Kaeo and Tham Sai caves.

Another attraction for tourists is climbing to the Ban Khao Daeng panoramic platform. The path there is difficult, so it is better not to go there with children. But when an amazing view of the park opens up from this height, you will understand that it was worth it.

Cha Am Beach

Cha Am Beach is a favorite vacation spot for Bangkok residents who come here on weekends. European tourists are a rarity here. Best time for a holiday on Cha-Am - this is a weekday, when the beach is practically empty.

Cha Am Beach itself is a very long line of sand along which there are many casaurines - evergreens. The trees provide good shade, which is very helpful on particularly hot days. The sea is quite shallow, but clean - there are no factories nearby. All this makes Cha-Am Beach an ideal place for families with children.

The prices on the beach are very reasonable - here you can rent a guest house on the seashore for only 250 baht per night. Renting a sun lounger will cost 20 baht per day.

Khao Luang Cave

One of the most interesting natural attractions in Phetchaburi is Khao Luang Cave. When visiting the cave, be prepared for the fact that flocks of monkeys will be waiting for you at the entrance, desperately begging for delicacies.

Inside the Khao Luang cave is a huge Buddhist temple complex. In several natural halls, among stalactites and stalagmites, there are Buddhist altars and many statues depicting Buddha in various poses. Makes the greatest impression giant statue reclining Buddha (the most revered position of the Buddha, because it was in this position that Gautama accepted death and was freed from the cycle of rebirth).

There are a total of 170 statues inside Khao Luang. It is best to visit this amazing place with a guide.

Fifteen kilometers from Hua Hin on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand is located one of the most amazing and beautiful palaces in Thailand. In Thai, its name sounds like Maruekkhathayawan palace, but the palace is better known as the Palace of Love and Hope.

The three-story palace building is made of teak wood, which gives it a special ambience. The palace was built as the summer residence of King Rama VI in 1923. Under the supervision of an Italian architect, the palace building was built in the classic Thai-Victorian architectural style.

Recently, the Palace of Love and Hope was restored. Anyone can get into it absolutely free. Opening hours - from 08.00 to 16.00.

Pa La U Waterfall

The Pa La U waterfall has sixteen levels and stretches for two hundred meters. The waterfall does not have powerful water flows; it is rather a small river that periodically falls from one step to another. But Pa La U boasts extremely picturesque surroundings. Closed from the outside world by evergreen tropical forest Pa La U attracts many exotic birds and colorful butterflies.

One of the attractions of the waterfall is the huge number of schooling fish, catching which is strictly prohibited here. But it is allowed to feed, which causes the fish population to grow every day.

You can get to Pa La U by driving sixty kilometers west of Hua Hin. Entrance to the waterfall territory is paid (about 200 baht).

Waterpark "Black Mountain"

The Black Mountain water park opened quite recently, but has already won the sympathy of tourists. And this is not surprising - after all, there is everything necessary for a good rest for the whole family.

On the territory of the water park there is a swimming pool with slides for every taste and color: from the simplest straight ones for kids to those that not every adult would dare to climb - they are so steep and winding that you need to wear a helmet to go down. In addition, there is a jacuzzi and an artificial river with a fairly strong current, a pool with a huge artificial wave, sun loungers and beach umbrellas.

Next to the water park there is a large artificial lake with plastic jumps and wakeboarding boats.

In the café at the water park you can buy soft drinks and have lunch. The water park is open daily from 10.00 to 17.00.

The water park is located under open air, so it’s worth stocking up on sunscreen, hats and comfortable shoes.

Motor gliding school in Thailand

The sky can get closer if you take to the air on a motorized paraglider. And if you do this at the “School of Motor Gliding” in Thailand, which is considered one of the best places for this sport in the world, a fireworks display of unforgettable emotions is guaranteed.

The low speed, complete stability and excellent maneuverability of the motorized paraglider allow you to get maximum pleasure from the flight, and the presence of a motor allows you to feel absolute freedom and independence from the vagaries of the air elements. Due to the low flight speed and the abundance of lines, even a forced landing on a forest is quite safe, and the beauty of Thailand from a bird's eye view is an absolutely unforgettable sight!

The motor gliding school provides training for both beginners and advanced training for experienced pilots.

Before you go on a motor paraglider flight, you need to pay attention to the existing weight and age restrictions, and also stock up on sportswear and shoes without heels.
